DAILY NEWS 2nd February 2025 World News/Outdoors
On Saturday, February 1, 2025, Zara Lachlan, a 21-year-old girl from the UK, became the first woman and the youngest person to row across the Atlantic Ocean(大西洋) by herself without any support.
The trip was a very difficult task. Ms Lachlan wasn't just new to ocean rowing. She was also new to the ocean. So she knew little about it. What's more, she had to clean the bottom(底部) of her boat from time to time—something she didn't enjoy at first, as she doesn't swim well.
However, Ms Lachlan was determined. Her goal was clear—to row alone across the Atlantic. During her trip, Ms Lachlan faced much trouble. Bad weather turned her boat over. After 40 days, her phone couldn't work. She hurt her arm, cut her leg, and broke a finger. At one point, she was almost hit by a huge ship.
But for Ms Lachlan, the trip was also a chance to see nature in a way that most people could never experience. She said the sunrises and night skies were fantastic and the trip gave her many memories that "will stay with me for life".
97 days later, Ms Lachlan arrived in South America. She almost broke the record, only missing it by 19 hours. But she's still very proud of herself. "I finished a difficult task," she said. She hoped to help other women and girls be brave. "If I can do what I'm afraid of, then they can try difficult things too," she said.
24. The words "Ms Lachlan was determined" have the closest meaning to "
A. she never gave up easily
B. she was afraid of dangers
C. she enjoyed learning new things
D. she always followed others' advice
25. What does Paragraph 4 mainly want to tell us?
A. Ms Lachlan still got help during the trip.
B. Ms Lachlan failed to reach her goal at last.
C. The trip was not that simple as Ms Lachlan thought.
D. The trip gave Ms Lachlan a special chance to enjoy nature.
26. From the news, what kind of person do you think Ms Lachlan is?
A. Kind and quiet. B. Brave and helpful.
C. Strong and popular. D. Funny and creative.

解析
【分析】
这是一篇新闻类阅读理解题，解题时可以按题型逐个突破：
1. 第24题是句意猜测题，首先定位划线句的位置，梳理划线句前后的逻辑：前文提到Lachlan对海洋、远洋划船都很陌生，还不擅长游泳，有很多先天劣势，转折词however之后引出划线句，后文又提到她目标明确，哪怕遇到翻船、受伤、设备故障等诸多磨难也坚持完成了横渡，顺着这个逻辑就能推断出划线句的含义，再和选项匹配即可。
2. 第25题是段落主旨题，做这类题优先找对应段落的总起中心句，第四段开头的转折句直接点明核心内容，后文的日出、夜空的描述都是对中心句的补充佐证，排除不属于本段内容、和原文相悖的干扰选项就能得到答案。
3. 第26题是人物形象推断题，从文中找出描述人物行为、想法的细节：她敢于独自无支援横渡大西洋对应勇敢的特质，她希望用自身经历鼓励其他女性勇敢尝试对应热心助人的特质，匹配选项就能选出正确答案。
【解析】
24. 句意猜测题：
根据第三段内容，Lachlan此前完全不熟悉海洋和远洋划船，还不擅长游泳，却始终目标明确，先后遭遇翻船、手机失灵、多处受伤、险些被大船撞击等重重困难，依然坚持完成了横渡大西洋的挑战，说明她意志坚定，从不轻易放弃。B选项“她害怕危险”、C选项“她喜欢学习新事物”、D选项“她总是听从他人建议”均无原文依据，只有A选项符合句意。
25. 段落主旨题：
第四段首句直接点明核心：对Lachlan来说，这次旅程是一个以绝大多数人都无法体验的方式亲近自然的机会，后文提到的绝美日出、奇幻夜空都是对这一核心的补充描述。A选项文中未提及她在旅途中得到帮助，B选项和她最终成功抵达南美洲的事实相悖，C选项是第三段讲述的内容，均不符合第四段主旨，只有D选项表述正确。
26. 人物形象推断题：
Lachlan作为首位独自无支援横渡大西洋的女性，敢于挑战充满未知的艰难旅程，足以体现她的勇敢；她完成挑战后希望用自己的经历鼓励其他女性和女孩勇敢尝试困难的事，体现出她热心、乐于助人的特质。文中没有提及她安静、受欢迎、有趣有创造力的相关描述，因此A、C、D选项均不符合。
【答案】
24. A 25. D 26. B
